Tarantula

12/1/09

Maybe the most interesting morning yet…

I woke up around 6:15, groggy and started to make my way out to the kitchen. As soon as I stepped out the door, I noticed something small and dark scurrying towards me. I jumped back and slammed the door almost instinctively – I thought it was a mouse. I opened the door to get another look and… My worst nightmare was confirmed: a tarantula! Don Alberto came and got rid of it straight away. Looking at it in hindsight, it’s a shame that we had to kill an animal that was so old…

Every day in El Sauce is an adventure.
